<h1>Displaying messages behind widgets</h1>
<p>Widgets can be displayed only in MicroStrategy Web, and a user can interact 
 with them only in MicroStrategy Web. For PDF View, you can select what 
 is displayed to replace the widget. (For more information on the display 
 options, see 
<a href="Widget_non_Flash.htm">Determining how a widget is 
 rendered in non-Flash modes</a>.) If you choose to hide the Grid/Graph 
 to which the widget is attached, you can display a message rather than 
 blank space. This message can indicate to users that the missing widget 
 cannot be displayed in the current mode, or provide other information. 
 Use a text field to display the message, which is displayed in place of 
 the missing widget in PDF View.</p>
<p>For example, a thermometer widget is displayed in Flash Mode. In Interactive 
 Mode, the following message is displayed in a text field:</p>
<p class="whs1">Switch to Flash Mode because you are missing 
 the thermometer widget.</p>
<p class="whs2">In Editable Mode and Design Mode, the Grid/Graph 
 connected to the widget is displayed. If the Grid/Graph does not completely 
 cover the text field, the text field is displayed as well.</p>
<p class="whs2"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note:</B></span> 
 You can use MicroStrategy Web to determine how a widget is displayed in 
 Interactive Mode and View Mode in MicroStrategy Web: as a widget or as 
 it is displayed in PDF View. If it is displayed as in PDF View, the text 
 field will display. For instructions to specify how the widget is displayed 
 in Interactive Mode and View Mode, see 
<a href="Widget_non_Flash.htm">Determining 
 how a widget is rendered in non-Flash modes</a>.</p>
<h2>To display a message behind a widget</h2>
<ol>
<li class=p-Steps><p class=Steps>Open a document that contains the 
 widget using the Document Editor in Design View.</p></li>
	
<li class=p-Steps><p class=Steps>Select the Grid/Graph containing the 
 widget</p></li>
	
<li class=p-Steps><p class=Steps>In the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Property 
 List: Flash</B></span> section, set <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>PDF and 
 Excel rendering </B></span>to <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Hide Grid/Graph</B></span>.</p></li>
	<ul>
<li class=p-Steps-No-Number-Indent><p class=Steps-No-Number-Indent><span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note: </B></span>If the Property List is not displayed, 
 click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Property List </B></span>at the bottom 
 of the panel on the left. If the panel is not displayed at all, select 
 <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Property List </B></span>from the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>View</B></span> 
 menu.</p></li>
	</ul>
	
<li class=p-Steps><p class=Steps>Add a text field; for steps, see 
<a 
 href="Add_text_data_to_documents.htm">Adding text and data to a document</a>.</p></li>
	<ul>
<li class=p-Steps-No-Number-Indent><p class=Steps-No-Number-Indent><span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note: </B></span>Ensure that the size of the text 
 field is no larger than the widget, and that the text field is placed 
 so that the widget covers the entire text field. Check whether the widget 
 covers the text field by switching the document to Editable Mode or Design 
 Mode.</p></li>
	</ul>
	
<li class=p-Steps><p class=Steps>Right-click the text field, point 
 to <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Order</B></span>, and then <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Send 
 to Back</B></span>.</p></li>
	
<li class=p-Steps><p class=Steps><span>Save the document. </span></p></li>
